Hello,

Is there a way to determine whether a named range exists in a workbook?
I would think there would be a way. I'm trying to put together an
if statement - but I don't know the syntax. What I'm looking for is "If
the range "first" exists in the workbook, then do this, else . . ."

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Anita
